Main attractions

Haba Village is an ancient village with ethnic minority characteristics with Naxi as the main body. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with lush forests, like a paradise in the world. As the first stop and tourist distribution center of the hiking route to the top of Haba Snow Mountain, Haba Village is known as the "Oriental Shamuni Town" and "the first village of Haba Snow Mountain".

Haba azalea sea
Haba Rhododendron Sea is the largest rhododendron sea in Shangri-La.

Each flowering season, rhododendron blooms through snow, and white and red flowers, which complement each other. It is praised as "the mother of the world garden" by biology at home and abroad
Bay sea
The Bay Sea is the most beautiful moraine lake in Haba Snow Mountain. Surrounded by snow mountains, the lake water is clear to the bottom. The blue sky, white clouds and snow mountains are reflected in the lake. There are large areas of azalea sea, fir forest and Nepalese catalpa beside the lake. It has the reputation of "Haba Pearl" and "Shangri-La Tianchi".
Black Sea
The Black Sea is the most mysterious moraine lake in Haba Snow Mountain. The lake water is deep and unpredictable. You can see the strange landscape of "calling for wind and rain". It is said that as long as you stand by the lake and shout a few times, the lake will have drizzle, and even the rain will pour, so it is also called "calling for rain pool".
Black Sea
Haba Glacier
Haba Glacier is the southernmost marine temperate glacier in China's latitude. The residual horn peak, blade ridge, U-shaped valley and sheep back stone are the remains of the ancient glacier. The ancient ice cirque melts and accumulates into moraine lakes such as the Bay Sea, Black Sea and Yellow Sea. It is known as the "closest glacier to Shangri-La", suitable for scientific research and tourism.
geographical environment
Haba Snow Mountain is located in the southeast of Shangri-La, 120 kilometers away from Shangri-La County. There are roads leading to Haba Snow Mountain Scenic Spot.
The main peak of Haba Snow Mountain is 5396 meters high, the highest peak is 5396 meters above sea level, and the lowest river level is only 1550 meters above sea level. The upper part of the mountain is relatively flat, while the lower part is steep and stands on the wall, which is steep, majestic, beautiful and mysterious. The top of the mountain is covered with ice all year round.
Haba Snow Mountain Scenic Spot
The main peak is very lonely, and the four small peaks stand around. Looking from a distance, it looks like a silver crown tripod. With the alternation of seasons and cloudy and sunny days, the snow peaks are unpredictable, and sometimes the clouds evaporate and fog cover, and the Baoding is hidden and visible; Sometimes the clouds are misty, and the strands ripple among the snow peaks.
At an altitude of about 4700 meters, the hanging rock is covered with ice falls, which is the southernmost marine temperate glacier in China. Those fantastic horned peaks, blade ridges, U-shaped valleys and sheep back stones are the remains of ancient glaciers.
Due to the huge difference in altitude, Haba Snow Mountain has formed an obvious alpine vertical climate, which is successively distributed in subtropical, temperate, cold temperate, and cold zones. The temperature difference between the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain is 22.8 degrees. This climate has bred an ecological series of vertical zonal distribution.
Editing and broadcasting of natural resources
Animal and plant resources
Haba Snow Mountain is stereoscopically distributed with alpine frigid vegetation zone, alpine meadow and alpine shrub, fir, spruce, conifer, mountain evergreen broad-leaved forest zone, dry and hot valley shrub and grass zone, etc., with a wide variety of plants.
In the dense primitive forest, there are many precious animals.
Landscape characteristics
The ancient cirque also melted and accumulated into many moraine lakes. These moraine lakes are distributed in the belt of about 4100 meters of millibar, especially the Black Sea. Black Sea is named for its ink color.
The water of the lake is deep and mysterious, and the landscape of the four seasons is different. The strangest thing is that as long as people stand by the lake and howl for several times, it will drizzle all around the lake, and sometimes it will even pour down in a rainstorm, which will drench people all over.
This unique landscape, which calls for wind and rain, adds to the mystery of the Black Sea. There are a large number of snow fish in the Black Sea, commonly known as "giant salamanders". When the temperature is appropriate, the snow fish gather into a ring, and the black pressure surrounds the shallow water near the lake. The situation is very strange.
In addition to snow mountains, lakes and cuckoos, there are many hanging springs and waterfalls in Haba Snow Mountain Scenic Area. It may be beautiful and continuous, or it may be turbulent and loud. For example, Jianshan Waterfall is about 40 meters high, with abundant water and magnificent momentum. The water falls from the top of the cliff and turns into a misty rain. Sometimes, under the refraction of the sun, the water mist turns into a seven-color rainbow. The scenery is very wonderful; The Great Diaoshui Waterfall is nearly 200 meters high.
Its source is above the snow line, which is a seasonal waterfall. From April to September every year, the ice and snow melt, and the snow water rushes down along the steep cliff, forming the beautiful Haba Grand Diaoshui Waterfall. The snow-capped peaks, misty clouds and mists are floating, and the flying stream breaks through the clouds, like the river of heaven entering the dust, which has the potential of "flying down three thousand feet".
